These days it’s easy to forget that Clint Eastwood was once merely a legendary Westerns actor, starring in classics like A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). But he’s also left his mark on the genre as a director as well, with Westerns like High Plains Drifter (1973) and The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) and he won his first directing Oscar for Unforgiven (1993), while also starring. With so much cowboy glory, it may be an impossible choice, but that’s part of the fun. So, spill: Do you prefer Eastwood the Western actor or Eastwood, Western director?
